The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the suspension front. Here is what owners need to know.
In certain driving conditions, if the oil level in the ACS reservoir is below the minimum level, the oil may foam and leak out of the vent holes in the reservoir cap.
The leaking oil in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will correct the oil level as necessary and replace the reservoir sealing cap to prevent oil foam from leaking out, free of charge.
